This sounds almost like a paid version of what I started years ago. I made collection software on a website, and then I updated it (the code is still behind the scenes), so that it would be more functional and not look like ass on a smartphone.
Had I been given permission to use the online rarity guide (and I fully understand reasons for me not getting permission at the time, so please do not see it as me saying anything negative), that I would have had game collection software and the rarity guide all in one on a website.
I guess the thing I am saying is that there are people out there, and I know I am not the only one, more than willing to setup an all-in-one free website that will handle your collection and the rarity guide if ever given the chance.
I am not saying it is wrong to charge for an Android app, sure, do what you have to do. I am just saying that there are some of us out there willing to make a website with pretty much the same functionality for free and give it out for free.
I am only weighing options here. No, $5 is not very much for an app, but at the same time, free is cheaper.
I mean, if you are downloading an app that says Digital Press on it, hopefully the people using it are smart enough to do a Google search for Digital Press and find the website right away to report issues in the rarity guide. I think allowing people to edit their own will only cause problems and inflation later on.
Person A: I will sell you item X for $100
Person B: well the DP rarity guide app says I should only pay you $25 (i.e. people just going in and editting their own rarity guides and then taking it for the game being that value that they personally set to either sell something for too much money, or try to lowball when buying)
